Yu Ishikawa commented on SPARK-2429:
------------------------------------
Hi [~freeman-lab],
Thank you for commenting. I'll modify the new implementation for the new ML
API. So, I'll clothe the current PR and then send a new PR for the new
implementation. thanks
> Hierarchical Implementation of KMeans
> -------------------------------------
>
> Key: SPARK-2429
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-2429
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: MLlib
> Reporter: RJ Nowling
> Assignee: Yu Ishikawa
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: clustering
> Attachments: 2014-10-20_divisive-hierarchical-clustering.pdf, The
> Result of Benchmarking a Hierarchical Clustering.pdf,
> benchmark-result.2014-10-29.html, benchmark2.html
>
>
> Hierarchical clustering algorithms are widely used and would make a nice
> addition to MLlib. Clustering algorithms are useful for determining
> relationships between clusters as well as offering faster assignment.
> Discussion on the dev list suggested the following possible approaches:
> * Top down, recursive application of KMeans
> * Reuse DecisionTree implementation with different objective function
> * Hierarchical SVD
> It was also suggested that support for distance metrics other than Euclidean
> such as negative dot or cosine are necessary.
